Topic: Good time to buy GPUs? - page 10. (Read 3666 times)
Are AMD or Nvidia planning on releasing any new gpu chips. I am getting tired of this RX 580/VEga, 1070 suff.
Well, when you can get a good deal on GPU then I'd say go for it. I have seen GPUs being sold here at a really great price, tbh the price has been so low that you could make some easy money reselling it later 
.
I see a point in mining if your electricity is really cheap or even free.

The for me it is when will eth go POS and when / if another coin becomes very popular and profitable like eth to mine. I would love to built a lot of eth mining machines but I have no idea when eth will go pos. All the ASICs I look at are too expensive, for the time it takes to make back your investment, I should have paid more attention and bought a Z9 when they first came out.
for me i think best to buy is GPU will be base on the places and buying GPU not just 3. i think should be more than 5. and lastly is the electricity usage others are some place's are cheap in electricity.
Antminer E3, Batch 3
Total hash rate: 190 MH/s
Price: $ 1876
Total hash rate: 190 MH/s
Price: $ 1876
at that price, only idiots buy the e3, 6 gpu x 30 = 180mhs, power 6 x 120 watts = 720w, also, count at least 30% gpu resale value in 2 years. Matter of fact only idiots buy hardware to mine eth right now cause buying the coin is a much better deal right now. At $800 it was the price, for $1900 is a rip off. With $1900, you can buy almost 4 eth, wait few months and get at least $1500 or more for each eth, almost 6000 usd, spending $1900 on asic or gpu will only make you to work a lot for nothing cause i doubt you will get $6000 or more within few months mining eth and even if you mine and hold the eth, it will never give you $6000 that fast, matter of fact roi will be 2 years and in 2 years buying 4 eth and holding might give you $30k.
Face it trolls, if mining does not give you roi of 100 days or less, better not to invest on it, buy the coin and wait for the ultra pumps.
Right now you'll make minus $0.96 running a A3 this is what asics do to profits once asics take over a chain its screwed look at D3 or L3 the only way to turn a profit is if you have free power I don't understand when a asics gets released why people get hyped up they wreck profits and are cancer to blockchains
That's a good point. One day, if ASIC overtakes the GPU market then we have to live with it sadly. GPU on the other hand is like a slow mechanism, profit gradually decreases over time. Sadly, ASICs are at a maximum nowadays.

ASIC only has low power consumption and lower price when compared to GPU (if has same hash level).
E.g
Antminer E3, Batch 3
Total hash rate: 190 MH/s
Price: $ 1876
how many GPUs can equal it (hashrate) and the total price of each GPU and power consumption?
and when ASIC is no longer a profitable at least have a fan that can be used or can be used as a seat.

Say, ASICs have dominated the crypto world. ASIC miners usually become obsolete within 10 months, right? Of course, I 'd be getting all that I invested in ASIC within that time, but post that no more revenue from it. Then, I have to buy a far more advanced [powerful] and quite expensive ASIC model. What's good in it?
when to start buying a GPU if it has to wait for ASIC and FPGA useless?
it's not an excuse not to buy a GPU/start building a Mining Rig.
The right reasons are:
it's not an excuse not to buy a GPU/start building a Mining Rig.
The right reasons are:
- what is the electricity cost in your home
- how fast you want the ROI.
do not rush to buy GPU,strong opponents will be asic and fpga which will always annoy GPU.
If ASIC and FPGA kicked, you can bought GPU
If ASIC and FPGA kicked, you can bought GPU
How do you think the algo diff will be on par with the yet to release new gpus? Also, it is almost impossible for me to get ASICs in my city. 
There are a LOT of Asics, so NO
too much asic. and asic hard to maintenance than gpu. so i think the time buy gpu right. i see now price low....
There are a LOT of Asics, so NO
high crypto prices = high gpu prices
low crypto prices = low gpu prices
...its always a gamble
low crypto prices = low gpu prices
...its always a gamble
I think it is better to wait for a new launch GPU's if they can release higher performance than the old GPU's then it is good choice to invest and buy them but always make sure to check the profitability because I'm sure the difficulty will increase again more if there is new GPU's release so if you early buy those cards then you can be benefited to mine early with those cards and old cards will be less revenue and will turn into unprofitable card except for other countries with cheaper electricity.
If you wait for new launch you always wait for the GPU because anytime it will launching the updated version so we should buy know the cost GPU is low in the market. This is the best time to buy GPU because the current market is low so demand is little less in the market and automatically price also less in the market. But if you wait for future this will going to peak.I think it is better to wait for a new launch GPU's if they can release higher performance than the old GPU's then it is good choice to invest and buy them but always make sure to check the profitability because I'm sure the difficulty will increase again more if there is new GPU's release so if you early buy those cards then you can be benefited to mine early with those cards and old cards will be less revenue and will turn into unprofitable card except for other countries with cheaper electricity.
prefer build own electric. many tutorial this day. someone sunk in water liquid too. many method mining today. yes agree. that unprofit with older. prefer newer. and check budget i think cuz if not enough it's will not come back after break event point[BEP]

i prefer you buy when ether low. since that impact on rig model. today gpu is cheap and that you must look too impact of dollar to your real currency. as i used now is old. and already selling because im do developing. what i seek is. what make good that rigs by algos. example cryptonote. what good for that gpu mining. or x11 or many more algo by compabilty of VGA. old times i used 1050 and now i sell them for masternodes installing.
gpus are not cheap, cheap was $240 for an 8gb 580 , 375 for a 1070for me cheap than asic miners. but im used of asic for high spec. already buy rig 2 month ago. if case now expensive. just hold or buy the old as recommended can mining.
This question has been asked multiple times on these forums and the consensus answer seems to be that NO, now is a bad time to buy GPUs or build new mining rigs.
As far as i can recall, below is a bulleted summary of reasons why you shouldn't.

- New series GPUs are being released soon
- ASICs for the primary POW coins have been released to the public
- ETH is about to either reduce block reward or start POS
- Difficulty is climbing higher everyday
